A classic example of going with the flow.
We noticed these trees as we drove to Geraldton. Greenough is only 20 minutes south of Geraldton and is a small historic settlement, so we will be coming back to explore this area after we have settled into our new home.

The governor, the soul mate and ... the end
CHARLESTON, S.C. — As the reporter said to the novelist: Why bother to make stuff up?
For stories and characters, one needs only a pair of walking shoes in this city, where recent attentions have turned to two salacious stories. One concerns a murder-for-hire plot involving a banker, his wife, his lover's ex-husband and his ex-lover's husband's cellmate. Not to be confused with his soul mate.
No, that designation refers to the other story making rounds on the cocktail circuit. Yes, he's back, but maybe not for long. Mark Sanford, the former governor who disappeared for five days, allegedly to hike the Appalachian Trail only to find himself in the arms of his lover (now his fiancee), is discovering that not every kid gets a comeback.
What is it about the shamed male politician that he seems unable to accept when it's over? This is strictly rhetorical, obviously. Part of the answer is hubris. Another part is history: Voters generally are forgiving once a person confesses and repents. But key to general forgiveness is the forgiveness of the wronged spouse. If Mrs. forgives, Joe and Jane Public usually do, too.
The list of those who have sinned and recovered is too long for this space, though a couple serve the point — and at least one deserves special mention: Bill Clinton
Despite his well-known peccadilloes, the former president has become a respected global figure in the wake of his impeachment by the House of Representatives (the Senate failed to convict) on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. His personal sins mostly forgiven, he has emerged with his popularity largely intact.
Perhaps the explanation lies in his overall likability, as well as his good works through his foundation, not to mention a larger sense that he was unnecessarily persecuted for behaviors that were more or less familiar to (and ignored by) a majority of voters. At some point in the investigation, he became more sympathetic than his pursuers.
Clinton did not, moreover, seek public office again. And, significantly, Hillary, her early protestations notwithstanding, stood by her man.
Switch now to former New York Rep. Anthony Weiner, who left Congress after accidentally tweeting a photo of his assets to his Twitter followers. Despite unfathomable embarrassment, Weiner now is considering a run for mayor of New York City. A recent poll shows him in second place in a hypothetical Democratic mayoral primary at 15 percent, behind City Council Speaker Christine Quinn at 26 percent.
Again, Weiner's wife, who was pregnant at the time of his topple, stayed with him.
Lest Democrats feel unfairly singled out, we further note that Republican Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana has held his seat despite his intersection with prostitution. His longevity no doubt is attributable to his sincere repentance, constituent satisfaction and, importantly, his wife's forgiveness.
Which brings us back to Sanford. Not only did he abandon his state for five days during his walkabout, he committed the unthinkable. He wept. No taking it like a man, this one. Without consideration for his wife and young sons, he referred to his paramour as his soul mate.
Sanford didn't even have the decency to resign from office, but finished his term and vanished for a couple of years only to re-emerge in pursuit of a fresh legacy. He recently won the Republican primary for an open congressional seat and faces Elizabeth Colbert-Busch (sister of Stephen Colbert) in a special election May 7.
To many South Carolinians, especially women, Sanford's candidacy is an embarrassment of Weineresque proportions. But if history is any guide, his candidacy is on life support. Not only did his former wife, Jenny Sanford, not stand by her man, she wrote a book, went on TV and recently took him to court for trespassing. This in the wake of his fiancee showing up at his primary victory party and appearing on stage with him and two of his sons, one of whom had not previously met their future stepmother.
Sanford's lack of empathy for his family, not to mention his impeachable judgment, should disqualify him from further public service, an opinion apparently shared by the Republican National Committee, which recently withdrew support for his candidacy.
Where the wife goes, so go the people.

I love being gay. It is wonder.
I was in Bombay...I saw a most fascinating man. He looked handsome like Modi. I mean so well dressed. I am searching for him.
I've not heard anything to the contrary so I can assume that Sarah Palin continues to waste oxygen.
Fukk u palintwit. You always trash me. Go fukk your mother you stu pid mother fukker.

Sarah Palin wastes oxygen AND water.
When Sarah Palin orders a pizza. It's a waste of dough.
Sarah Palin is the epitome of wasted resources here on planet Earth.
Sarah Palin is the poster child for WASTE
Just think. If Sarah Palin's mother had been doing anal , Sarah Palin would have been no more than a spot on the sheets.
I don't know about 'peans but 'mericans waste 40% of everything. They use 25% of their water to process foods they throw in the trash! No kidding,
.......speaking of wastes......
Bast tard!
Now, it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out::::: THERE WILL BE NO PEACE IN THIS WORLD TILL THE ISRAEL AND INDIAN OCCUPIED KASHMIR ISSUES ARE RESOLVED. NEVER!!!
India is the @rse of South Asia while Hinduism represents the worst of what a medieval cult can offer. Indian culture is a conglomeration of bizarre rituals based on inc*st. Modi likes to bend down and take donkey d ikk up his zz.
This chap Modi likes big dikks.
Modi was caught being humped by a camel in Bombay. The d ick came out of Modi's mouth entering from his hindoo black azz.
Blimey is on meds, ladies and gents. Meds that interfere with sleep and so the addict dreams during the daytime rather than at night,
Drug addicts who are into por no graphs daydream about por no graphic images like Blimey here, It's what's on their mind as they dream-up things to say here,
.......says possibly the sickest fool here......who has no excuse......
There will be no peace until every single false Christian war monger is dead, Not to mention the Israeli MOSSAD gone missing,
Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, AndhraPradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Manipur, Nagaland and Assam are all strife torn states in India where independency wars are being fought . CNN, Please provide coverage before BBC beats you to it.
Being originally fire worshippers, Hinduism developed the grisly practice of burning a widow alive on the funeral pyre of her husband (suttee). If she did not willing jump into the fire, she was often thrown into it by the mob gathered to watch her burn to death.
Big deal. Angry mobs of Jews used to chase after Jesus trying to grab hold of him. But he was the fastest man in the world so they could not catch him. What terrible things they would have done if only Jews could run faster.
100 pages of pure trash.
I am just so sick and tired of junk and trash being posted. WHERE DOES IT END!??!!
People. post something worth reading or just don't post anything!
Folks. Your ignorance is showing.
Finally @banasy explained it all with her charming ignorance ablaze,
Except, you know, I haven't posted anything in this blog today.
So, nope.
I would have thought by now you would have been able to tell the difference; but apparently the allure of a slur against me is too much for you to resist, and simply seeing my stolen name is enough to churn you into a frothing mass of rage.
So you've just been lurking all day?
Notice I said @banasy. Not at banasy circle c.
Nice try.
No soup for you.
Would you like to know how I know it's backpedalling? Your choice of pronoun in your 6:18 post, knowing full well that the person doing this is not a "her".
If I get attacked, I defend myself.
The way to avoid that is simply not give in to your impulse to attack me in the first place.
Have a nice evening. If I peruse this blog and find something I feel I have to comment about, I assuredly will.
The M.E. is not the problem. The problem is war mongering Christians and Jews and Muslims who all defy God.
I might have voted for Robin Williams had he continued self-medicating with booze and drugs. But after he started using prescription drugs...no way.
Take away Jews and Cheiatians and Muslims who cheer on the Warriors and all we got is bad weather caused by pollution.
She takes generalized posts against lazy fat Americans personal. What does that tell you about her.
If you are an American statistics show you are more than likely fat and stupid. Sorry about that but it's just the way it is in the USA today.
She ignores things that would otherwise embarrass her. She is careful about which posts she comments on. She is @banasy circle c.
Philip, I see no reason to keep revisiting things we have discussed perhaps hundreds of times before.
When you bring new material to the table, perhaps I'll comment.
Even ignorant strong armed gang banger youth from Ferguson know better than to rob a librarian helper.
Obama knows better than to argue scripture other than Koran.
Billy Clinton never talks about God's word the bible and for good and obvious reasons.
The tourist who used to travel to India's many temples is often shocked by wall art that depicts s odomy, child seyx, o rgies and bestiality of the grossest kind. Yet, all this is part of what lies at the core of Hinduism.
The same shock is received when tourists see Hindus drinking urine from animals and humans and smearing dung in their hair and on their body. The smell that emanates from the gurus, monks and holy men of Hinduism is enough to warn us that Hinduism is rotten to the core.

Dan Gilbert on the Situation of Happy

From TEDTalks:
Dan Gilbert, author of Stumbling on Happiness, challenges the idea that well be miserable if we dont get what we want. Our "psychological immune system" lets us feel truly happy even when things dont go as planned.

Home Energy Magazine Online January/February 1999
Urban Legend Wastes Energy I have heard from many sources that it is more energy efficient to leave your computer running all the time than to turn it on and off every day. The reasoning was that it takes more energy to boot up a computer than just to leave it on. Do you know where I can find out if this is just an urban legend or not? I used to work for a large government agency and everyone there left their computers on all the time.
Thanks a lot.
Virginia Lindahl
Bruce Nordman, principal research associate at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, responds:
There is no reason, other than a person's patience, not to turn your computer off if it will be sitting idle for any period longer than a few minutes. In fact, from a physics perspective, taking more energy to boot up a computer than to leave it on can't be true. Here's why. A computer and monitor typically use 150 watts between them, which is about 1/12 of the electrical capacity of a typical 15-amp electrical circuit. If we assume that a personal computer (PC) uses enough energy during booting to compensate for not turning the computer off for, for example, 12 minutes that it would otherwise have been idle, then the PC would have to use electricity at 12 times its normal rate during booting. At this rate the PC would use all the capacity of the electrical circuit. If the PC used any more power to boot up, this would trip the circuit breaker. So to save energy, you are best off powering the machine down or off as often as possible. In small offices where the printer is hooked up to the computer and gets switched off when the computer does, even more energy will be saved every time the computer is turned off.
As to downsides, there is a theoretical possibility of weakening the solder joints by frequently turning the PC on and off, which could lead to premature hardware failure; but in practice this isn't a problem. Disk drives used to be sensitive to powering on and off, but this hasn't been true for over a decade.
The practical limit to power management is people's patience. Most office workers won't want to boot up their PC more than once a day, due to the waiting time. They may be willing to turn the monitor off several times during the day (for example, during the lunch break or while in meetings), as monitors turn on quite quickly. Better yet, using the power management capability built into most PCs and monitors today, the machine can go into a low-power sleep mode when not used for a time, then recover within seconds when a key is pressed or the mouse is moved. This capability can reduce the power draw by about 50% for PCs and up to 95% for monitors.
So, yes, the idea that turning things off ends up using more energy than leaving them on is an urban myth. Using whatever energy-saving techniques are available, as frequently as possible, can result in significant energy savings.Field Testing ICF Article I wish Home Energy would be more careful in publishing technical articles such as the one on ICFs (Foam Forms Bring Concrete Results, July/Aug '98, p. 27). The ICF industry has consistently avoided the field testing of its product until very recently, unabashedly claiming R-values of up to R-60 without any documentation other than hazily described research that is never submitted for review. Even the newest study by Dr. VanderWerf is more pseudoscience than anything else. It is not inconceivable that a difference in conditioning energy of 40% could be found between a two-story-with-basement house insulated with ICFs and one with modest levels of above-grade wall insulation and bare concrete basement walls. However, to assert this has been proven through the research from the report is dishonest and should be regarded with extreme skepticism.
A matched-pair study design is used to measure savings; however, there is not enough detail in the report to establish whether the savings reported by the author are due to anything other than chance. We are not told the actual R-values of the components in the houses, the window areas and U-values, or the infiltration rates. We must assume they are identical (save for the wall type); the study does not document that they are. There is no mention of the types of heating system in the matched pairs; that is, one could contain a ducted heating system and the other zonal heat. The climates used for comparison are not carefully described, so a matched pair in the Canada district could conceivably pair a house in a maritime climate with a house on the open prairie. There are many other potential sources of error that are not carefully addressed in VanderWerf's report.
The Portland Cement Foundation (sponsors of the report) would have better spent their money in a more closely controlled prototype analysis in a few climates. In fact, guarded hot-box tests have now been performed on several ICF walls and have found R-values in a range that seems reasonable (R-17 to R-25), given the wall materials and my own experience modeling several of these walls with contemporary simulation programs (under hire to various ICF manufacturers).
I know Alan Meier advised caution on ICFs in his editorial of that issue, but I think Home Energy should be more careful with the technical review of what is passed off as research.
Bob Davis
Dr. Pieter VanderWerf responds:
Many thanks to Bob Davis for raising important and useful issues. Some of Mr. Davis's concerns are covered in our report. We tested the possible role of chance by the conventional method, the confidence interval. This indicated that the savings, with over 97% confidence, were not the result of chance alone. Air infiltration is not assumed to be constant. In fact, we know from blower door tests that it is significantly lower in homes with ICF walls. Reduced infiltration is actually believed to be the greatest single factor accounting for the lower energy consumption of ICF homes.
A few of Mr. Davis's concerns were unfortunately not covered because of the summary nature of the report. During our study, we did determine several details of the HVAC systems used and we corrected for differences. Matched pairs of houses were within 2 miles of each other in 80% of all cases; in a few situations we were forced to go as far as 20 miles to get a fair match.
A few of Mr. Davis's other concerns are about statistical research in general. In any research, it is impossible to control for all variables. Monitoring and measurement studies cope by eliminating or controlling as many sources of variation as are practical. Statistical studies measure and correct for some variation, and determine whether other sources of variation might introduce biases. The researcher checks independent data or a subsample to make sure that uncontrolled variables (for example, fenestration) do not tend to be significantly different for some groups (for example, ICF houses) than for others. We did this and discussed it in our report. With these conditions, statistical theorems show that point estimates (for example, average energy savings) will still be valid. If one does not accept this principle, one should reject our study along with all statistical field research.
Three implied statements in the letter trouble me. The first is that the energy performance of ICF walls can be characterized by their R-value. Work at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and elsewhere shows that several other factors are of comparable or greater importance: reduced air infiltration, thermal mass, and (possibly) conduction of geothermal energy. The energy modeling of ICF structures to date is unfortunately not of much practical significance because it represents the effects of only one or two of these mechanisms.
The second is the implication that controlled prototype analysis is adequate to fully characterize the energy performance of a wall system. The Portland Cement Association and other organizations have sponsored some projects to monitor the energy consumption of side-by-side prototypes. But they have also sponsored laboratory testing, computer simulations, and statistical field studies such as this one. I hope that building science follows the lead of the other sciences by demanding that final analysis of any important phenomenon rest on results from a variety of different research methods, not just one. Each has its unique lessons to offer.
The third is the implication that peer-refereed research by scientists is the only source of useful information. In an 11-year career as a university professor writing almost nothing but refereed journal articles, it has become obvious to me that this attitude, if pervasive, would halt progress as we know it. Virtually none of the important energy-saving products we rely on today had unequivocal, fully documented performance when the first engineers designed with it, the first architects specified it, the first contractors installed it, and the first building officials approved it. It is true that there will always be charlatans who overstate the performance of their products. But unless we can rely on the training, observations, common sense, and judgment of the practitioner to assess product claims and preliminary research, nothing new will ever get off the ground. Let us in the research community take our decade to achieve full precision and consensus on a new phenomenon. Energy professionals have to estimate paybacks, and HVAC contractors have to size equipment now.Clarifying MECcheck Access Thanks for including the U.S. Department of Energy's analysis software MECcheck--which evaluates compliance with the Model Energy Code (MEC) for residential buildings--in the article Putting the Byte into Your Analysis Toolkit (Sept/Oct '98, p. 25). As the program manager for MECcheck software, please allow me to clarify some information regarding this software, which may prove helpful to your readers.
Current MECcheck versions do not address the International Energy Conservation Code, the 1998 version of the Model Energy Code, as described in Energy Code Goes International in the same issue (p. 7). MECcheck does evaluate low-rise residential buildings for compliance with the 1992, 1993, or 1995 versions of the MEC. Our current software versions allow the user to select which MEC edition is applicable to her or his residential design.
MECcheck software runs from any Windows platform (3.1, 95, or NT), as well as DOS-only platforms. Users should order or download any MECcheck version designated 2.01 or higher to ensure that they are getting a Windows application. (Version 2.07, release 3, is the most current version.) Residents of Arkansas, Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Vermont can obtain MECcheck versions specifically applicable to their state.
Your Software Contacts sidebar should have included the Web site where MECcheck software (and other nonsoftware compliance tools for the MEC) can be downloaded, free of charge. DOE's Building Standards and Guidelines Program site is at http://www.energycodes.org.
Those persons who do not have Internet access can obtain MECcheck software and other products by calling DOE's Hotline at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory: (800)270-2633. Hotline orders require a small fee to cover duplicating and mailing expenses.

Hantavirus has killed three campers at Yosemite this season, and thousands may have been exposed to the virus. Dr. Sanjay Gupta reports on the symptoms and explains how it's spread.
Post by: Dr. Sanjay Gupta
Filed under: Medical News
To the frustration of local residents, a handful of people in the region around Yosemite have died over past 20 years from hantavirus (and a couple other local deaths from years prior are unsolved and local residents suspect hantavirus) , but have not gotten much public health or media attention. Serious training for the local doctors and hospitals, such as Mammoth Lakes, at least in diagnosis and first-care would be valuable so people aren't sent home without treatment.

The deadly standoff between a homeless man and six Saginaw, Michigan police officers was caught on video.
CNN has purchased the video of the July 1 incident and we'll make it public for the first time tonight.
The victim was 49-year-old Milton Hall, who according to his family suffered from mental health issues. He was holding some type of knife during the confrontation.
According to local reports, police fired 46 shots during the standoff. CNN counted at least 30 gunshots.
Hall's family is outraged.
"It appeared to be a firing squad dressed in police uniforms. There was another way. They did not have to kill him," Hall's mother told CNN's Jason Carroll.
Others in the community agree. They say police used aggressive force.
Tonight in Carroll's report you'll see how police responded to the criticism. Carroll also has the latest on the shooting investigation that's been launched by the state police. Carroll's report airs at 8 and 10 p.m. ET.
Update: Watch the report below.
1 mentally handicapped man with a knife and 6 police officers guns drawn at the ready also with a k-9. The man doesnt drop the knife so in the end there is a dead man on the ground with 46 spent shell casings laying near by....I'm disturbed by this, James Holmes killed over 70 people and he's still breathing...I dont understand how the dog could not have disarmed the man or they could have put someone to the side of him with a lethal weapon and allowed a cop to move within range to use a taser and why would 6 cops need weapons drawn for 1 man with a knife but idk what to say everyone needs a huge reality check and common sense. "Serve and Protect" not "Profile and Kill"
That is quite frankly one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen. The victim only had a knife, and the 6 police officers had guns. The homeless man was clearly distanced enough where he would not have caused anyone any harm. Even just one cop could have told everyone else to put down their weapons. If they he was going to hurt one of them then I could understand one cop firing a shot to stop him. But this was a firing squad for sure. It looked like they they were just over dealing with him. That is really sad.
What about cops just "disarming" threats? Not shooting at someone with enough anger to overkill. What about using someone kind of tranquilizer dart. No one deserves to be executed.
Muriel, I have seen this happen numerous times in Los Angeles. It's par for the course. They are nothing but a pack of cowards who deserve to die like vermin some day. Their karma will catch up with them. Don't worry.
Wow. I just saw that video and it appears to be a flat-out police execution. Don't trust the police. Don't ever trust them anywhere. There may be a few good cops in the country but they are darn few. These people are young, aggressive, inexperienced and have their own agenda. To put a gun into someone's hands like that, is sheer lunacy. Don't trust the police.... ever.
Every one of those cops are criminals and deserve the same LIFE SENTENCE in prison that the judicial system will hand out so readily to those without a tinfoil badge on their chest
Please let me undrestand this...Who are the police protecting and Who are they serving...This is very disturbing for lost of reasons...One ... Who do they think they are killing a man in a unfair standoff...Killing a man when a more caring approach would have worked such as a Tazzer or Bean Bags or Tear Gas...This man body was falling and shots was still being fired...I hope that each one of the officers face crimminal charges...Now to help solve the problem...Their should be a lLaw passed that people with health problems, mental problems have a code listed in the data base for law enforce to have to research to help handle problem cituations such as that
The KKK turns in their white sheets for the CITIES and STATES UNIFORMS
to protect us. So they can commit legal Assassination
If you see something, say something. Whenever you see injustice say something
How are they gonna unload 30-46 shots into someone who had a knife and wasnt even rushing them? Understandable if they shoot him too take him down but shoot and kill him when he was standing 10-15 feet away from them only shooting back at them? All of those police officers should be charged for killing someone that wasnt even rushing them. absolutely ridculous im ashamed to be living in the same state that did that
So sad for a mother to lose a son that way regardless of how old he is. He clearly has mental issues in the video but your trying to tell me that out of 5 cops nobody has a stun gun or pepper spray? You can take a man down with a stun gun and pepper spray him and remove the knife. This world is coming to an end.
THis is just a disgrace!!!! I think police officers need better training and loose the mentality of being so aggressive. They could have had ONE PERSON shoot him in the foot or something just to get him to drop the knife and take control. Instead they shot him up like a firing squad. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!!!!!!!
Wow. I support law enforcement but this looked like a gang shooting. There is no way after seeing that that the police can say they used the proper level of force. Wow.
If you don't want to get shot by the cops: pull over, put down your weapons, do what they say, period
Next story
look how the chief downplayed it and blamed the victim. Just for those comments, the chief should immediately fired. How do you blame the victim here. I though he was going to end by saying, this guy just cost us too much time so we just decided to make our lives a bit easier. Every no good cop that fired a bullet belongs in jail for a very long time.
Just finished watching a piece about this a half hour ago. I am absolutely gobsmacked! I hold duel citizenship – Canada and Britain, the latter as you know has a largely unarmed police force but even in Canada I would like to think that 6 burly officers would have been capable of overpowering one individual with a knife instead of resorting to using a firearm. Why oh why did so many rounds have to be discharged? If you are trained and within 10 feet as Soledad suggested they were, and aiming for the chest, surely one bullet should have done the job! Followed by a hasty journey to hospital I would hope.....
Gunfire has caused so much heartache in your country recently........
America needs to deal with its issue of racism once and for all. When they stop lying my telling people that white cultural and historical contributions are better than every other's groups, then and only then will they open up the opportunity for true healing in this country. God Bless America.
Why in gods name do they need to shoot this man at all? I have all the respect for the incredibly difficult job OUR OFFICERS have everyday. This man could and should have been disarmed in a number of different ways. I seen the video and there is not defense for what these police officers have done. Their trainning and other means of weapons could have been attempted before filling him with bullets. I extremely disappointed in anyone that doesn't think a stun gun or one shot in the hand that was holding the knife would have been the first choice to disarm and subdue him. The fact that they are trained officers, makes their shooting criminal. This is upsetting, I don't feel protected with officers like this on our streets.
Only a knife? A knife can kill you, It can kill you though a bullet proof vest, More people are killed annually with knives that they are with guns, and he "only had a knife". If brandish a knife and move towards a police officer who has repeated told me to drop the knife, I expect to get shot at least once. Milton Hall had a history of violence in the past, He said he would kill the police dog,(that is actually considered an unarmed police officer.) A taser is not guaranteed to stop anyone. It won't puncture a good rain coat when you get down to it. Only a knife. Do those police officers not have the right to protect themselves and return home to their family at night because someone "only has a knife". Give me a break.
"Where is your thoracic cavity? " Put that question on your ridiculous list for stupid questions asked by your host. I realize she asked to clarify for viewers. Are people that stupid? If they are, they're not watching the news.
Well if anyone who watched that video tonight doesnt agree that this a terrible case of police brutality well then we may as well give our police officers total antonimy to shoot any time they please , a 46yr old man with a knife vs 7 police officers and a dog at a 20 ft distance between them , police on a power trip , they all should be charged with 3rd degree murder !!!!
my GOD what is America comming to? The victem only had a knife? Why all of this? Have we as American's lost ANY COMMON SENSE we used to have?
America used to have common sense? We used to burn people alive for fear of witchcraft and slavery was legal. Wake up
You would have to be from saginaw to understand,According to new data from the FBI, Saginaw is once again considered highest for violent crime in the nation. Maybe this would help you understand.

Science Looked Good In 2012
And now joining us is Flora Lichtman. Hi, Flora.
FLORA LICHTMAN, BYLINE: Hi, Ira.
FLATOW: Multimedia editor with our Video Pick of the Week, and it's topical, of course.
LICHTMAN: Well, I was jealous. You guys are going to a year-in-review. I want to do a little year-in-review. The interesting thing about the Video Year in Review is that the stories are - they're like the hidden gems of science news because what makes a good - an interesting thing to watch isn't necessarily the biggest science story of the year. So, for example, I thought some of the most amazing footage that came out of the journals, no less, was - were these European catfish that beached themselves on the riverbank and eat pigeons.
FLATOW: So if you missed that one, now is your chance...
MARIETTE DICHRISTINA: I'll take it over mall cats anytime.
DICHRISTINA: Catfish better than mall cats anytime.
FLATOW: Poor cat. Exactly. Depends on the (unintelligible). Search for the word cat.
LICHTMAN: So there were other countless, you know, good animal tales. There was also the thing about how cucumber tendrils curl.
FLATOW: Beautiful video.
LICHTMAN: That was beautiful.
FLATOW: Gorgeous video.
LICHTMAN: How about the spinning egg? The...
FLATOW: Ah, my favorite.
LICHTMAN: ..and this is your favorite: the engineers let spun an egg in milk and looked at it with a high-speed video and they noticed that the milk climbs up the side of the egg and spins off. And they tried to understand, you know, physically what was going on there. Beautiful video. Also again, you may not see it on the front of the science times, but fascinating.
FLATOW: Yeah. And it's our video - and how many did you put together? You put together - how many are in that video?
LICHTMAN: Many.
FLATOW: Many, many.
LICHTMAN: Many, many.
FLATOW: Many, many, many. At least, a dozen or more. Two dozen...
LICHTMAN: Certainly. Yes.
FLATOW: ...in the videos. Our Video Pick of the Week up on our website at sciencefriday.com and Flora took her favorites of the year. You enhanced them a little bit, put some - you have a little bit of a what? How did you narrate these?
LICHTMAN: You're betraying my nerdiness.
LICHTMAN: It's rhyming. I don't want to say poem. I think that's - that would be far too generous. But it is a lot of near rhymes. You know, it's funny. I - when I think I hit my pinnacle of nerdiness, I just dig a little deeper and I find that I can just...
FLATOW: You could...
LICHTMAN: ...there are untapped wells in me.
FLATOW: Because you'd turned into a Benji(ph) instead of a nerd and...
LICHTMAN: Maybe that's - maybe I'm actually trying transcendence...
FLATOW: It's the Benji dog. Benji.
LICHTMAN: ...into the Benji world.
FLATOW: That's right. That's right.
LICHTMAN: There are really some great moments. I also feel like Baumgartner when he jumped - we didn't talk about that.
DICHRISTINA: That was an amazing video.
LICHTMAN: But that was just incredible to watch. And someone tweeted us earlier that, you know, they watched live over their cellphone. And even as a 28-year-old, the technology seeing that feed live into your phone wherever you are, walking down the street, was a very 2012 moment.
IVAN ORANSKY: On your phone that probably had more capability than whatever Neil Armstrong, rest in peace now, had in 1969 on it.
LICHTMAN: Yeah, definitely.
FLATOW: Right. Right. And...
DICHRISTINA: And traveling more than Mach 1, you know? Mach 1.4 or something. That is extraordinary and then capturing it the whole way. It was really something.
FLATOW: And we also had all those shuttles that were flying over all those cities, right?
LICHTMAN: Oh, yeah. That was an interesting thing. The visuals of seeing the shuttles very close to Earth, flying over Hollywood, flying over New York. We had people send us those pictures and they're on our website and they're in this video montage as well.
FLATOW: When I heard about the shuttles finding new homes, I said, why don't they keep one flying? They can move it as an exhibit around the country, keep it on the back of that 747. Why do you have to go five cities or whatever? Have one still mobile and you could fly it around the exhibit (unintelligible).
MARK FRAUENFELDER: Great idea.
FLATOW: I don't know.
ORANSKY: I live a block from the Intrepid. So I'm glad there's one over there.
FLATOW: It's cheap for me to say that because I'm not paying the bill. But, you know, I think a flying exhibit like that would be great.
DICHRISTINA: On the other hand, you know, great opportunity for a tour around the U.S.
FLATOW: There you go.
LICHTMAN: Seeing a shuttle there, did anyone - does anyone remember this story of the teenager who sent a LEGO shuttle to space, also produced some really beautiful video and was Internet driven and funded, speaking of crowd sourcing and the power of Twitter.
DICHRISTINA: Anything we can't do with LEGOs, I mean.
LICHTMAN: If you're a teenager, sort of, I think, there's maybe nothing.
FLATOW: It was amazing video. You did that when it came out. It's also on this week as part of the montage. It was this teenager who floated. You could see the horizon. You see the Earth. It's a LEGO in space. It's amazing.
LICHTMAN: Let us in. I want to know what we missed, you know, because this is my - what I spent most of my time doing. Leave us a comment. Tell us what your top picks for science video was this year.
FLATOW: There you go and what you might like to see. It's our Video Pick of the Week up on website. It's sciencefriday.com and also you can download, of course, on your mobile app if you want to take along with you. Thank you, Flora.
LICHTMAN: Thank you, Ira.
FLATOW: Flora Lichtman, our video editor, our multimedia editor. We've run out of time. Boy, that went by fast. Hope the New Year doesn't go by that fast. Thank you for taking time to join us today. Mariette DiChristina, editor-in-chief of Scientific American and senior vice president there, Ivan Oransky, executive editor at Reuters Health. He's also co-founder of the Retraction Watch blog. Mark Frauenfelder, co-founder of Boing Boing and editor-in-chief of MAKE magazine. Happy New Year to you all.
ORANSKY: Happy New Year.
FRAUENFELDER: Happy New Year.
FLATOW: Hope to see you next year.
DICHRISTINA: Thanks so much.
FLATOW: Thanks again.

Natalie Portman Porn Pics
First name: Hayatte, Age: 20 yo, City: Aloha (OR)
Hi, I'm a very greedy girl who is with someone but I am unfaithful. I work as a teacher and it's not exciting. Since I'm the hot type, I decided to look for a guy. I just want to have a guy for a casual encounter because I like to get laid without any hassle with a new guy. I like to try new things, so I need a big stud who can handle it. I don't really have a particular taste when it comes to one night stands. However, it is important that this guy be open-minded. I love long foreplay because I get really turned on before we make love. I'm okay with meeting up in a bar for this hookup. If you want, I'm not against going on a date in the woods. In order to be sexually satisfied, you can't just be a novice. If you meet my needs, you'll remember it.

Pettersen redeems herself, wins state Junior tourney
Madasyn Pettersen couldn't contain her enthusiasm. The 14-year-old won the 2014 Illinois Women's Golf Association Junior Girls Golf Tournament on Wednesday, two years after being disqualified.
Pettersen again shot the low round score of the day, 72, over the University of Illinois Orange Course in Savoy. She finished with 146.
"Redemption is complete," she said. "I came back to win it and I definitely feel like I redeemed myself.
"I shot the lowest score Tuesday and did again, along with the longest drive."
In 2012, Pettersen shot 5-under during her round before being disqualified for using a range finder she said she didn't know that she could not use.
"That hurt, but this feels good."
Pettersen fired a score of 4-under 32 on the front nine and maintained her lead over runner-up Abigail Luchtenburg for the final nine holes and finished five strokes ahead.
Pettersen said it wasn't always easy: "I had some incredible putts to save par. Some were from 25 feet and others just from 10 or 3 feet.
"But then on accident on Hole 16, I tapped my putt and moved the ball a little and that cost me an extra stroke. But at the end of the day, I played two great rounds of golf."
Two great rounds played two ways.
"I had two different games," she said. "Tuesday, I had a phenomenal full swing, putting was OK, short game was pretty good. Today, I didn't have much of a full game, short game was right on, putting was always there."

Speed Dating in Norwich for 40s & 50s on Thursday 2nd March 2023
How Speed Dating Works in Norwich
When you arrive at the Norwich venue you will be greeted by our friendly professional hosts. Once everyone has arrived and registered we will briefly explain the format of the evening. The ladies will then be asked to make their way to their allocated table. Once the ladies are seated the gentlemen will be asked to proceed to their first date.
You will have 4 minutes to chat to each date, once the 4 minutes is over we will ring a bell to indicate the time is up and for the gentlemen to move to their next date. Four minutes is long enough to see if you click with the person you are talking to and whether you would like to see them again and also short enough if you don't.
At the end of each date you have a brief few moments to make some notes on the person you have just dated. This is something to help jog your memory for the post event matching process the next day.
Half way through the event you will have an interval break so you can nip to the toilet or top up your drink. Once all the dates are over you have the opportunity to stay on at the venue to mingle freely with others. Please remember to take your dating card home with you to assist you in entering in your ticks and potential matches.
Post Event
No later than 11am the following morning our matching system will be unlocked for you to enter your ticks from the previous evening. You have all day to tick as many people as you like from the night before. We guarantee you will find someone you will want to see again, otherwise we will give you your next Speed Dating event for free!
Groups:Slow Dating group

Our team of professionals and staff believe that informed patients are better equipped to make decisions regarding their health and well-being. For your personal use, we have created an extensive patient library covering an array of educational topics, which can be found on the side of each page. Browse through these diagnoses and treatments to learn more about topics of interest to you.
As always, you can contact our office to answer any questions or concerns.
Cellulitis is a common bacterial skin infection that is caused by either Staphylococcus or Streptococcus bacteria. Both of these bacteria occur naturally on the skin. A break or cut in the skin causes the bacteria to enter the body, which leads to an active infection. Cellulitis most often occurs from:
- cracking or peeling skin between the toes,
- insect bites or stings, and
- a skin cut, break or trauma.
Cellulitis appears as a swollen red area of skin that is tender and hot to the touch. Symptoms include chills, fever, muscle ache, fatigue, pain or tenderness in an area with a skin rash or sore. The redness increases in size as the infection spreads. It typically comes on suddenly and spreads quickly. Cellulitis can arise anywhere on the body, but usually appears on the face or legs. Be sure to contact your dermatologist as soon as you observe these symptoms to start an effective treatment.
To prevent cellulitis, be sure to clean any cut or break in the skin promptly with soap and water and cover the wound with a bandage until it scabs over. Watch for redness, tenderness, drainage or pain as these are signs of infection.

Kudos to Reg Henry
Thank you, Rick, for running Reg Henry's piece about the increasing idiocy of Americans, as reflected by the notion that people are resisting a place for burial to one of the alleged marathon bombers.
I think Reg Henry wrote his piece about two days too early. Yesterday, after the latest bread and circus murder trial in Arizona resulted in the conviction of a woman for killing her boyfriend, the crowds outside launched into a cheer of "USA, USA, USA." Can someone explain this in a context which does not reference a rising trend of fascism in this country, which views anything of which any mob approves of in jingoist and nationalistic fervor? The event reminded me that when Jews were massacred in the 30s in Germany, the crowds ran amok chanting in a similar way. Its chilling to see this in our own country. I'm surprised they didn't just rip down the court house and string up the killer, which was the next logical step. I prefer to think this was just mass idiocy, but mass idiocy becomes increasingly dangerous.

Wonder if they have vaccination against raypes in India. My 90 year old brahmin grandma will be traveling there to select her wood for sati (grandpa died so she has to throw herself into the fire) but we don't want her rayped prior.
Nope. The winters here are mild. I'm staying. But I will hitch a ride next year with UPS. after the winter.
Well good luck with that. See ya
Chirp chirp chirp
Thanks. See u.
Chirp chirp chirp
Sitar is to Ravi Shankar what raypes and terrorism are to hindus from India.
You betcha!
Meow meow. I am a cat.
If ever I find out where Larry and Bonhomie are. I am going to have a great dinner.
Meow meow
Meow..Meow i am a beautiful yellow cat
Music was to Beatles what raypes and terrorism are to hindus from India.
Meanwhile down by the mango trees in India, hindus continue to defecate out in the open, get rayped and hung by the branches of the sweet fruit.
Hi. I am a Hindu boy from Bombay and i eat boogers salty gooey moist boogers from India. Tastes like chicken LMFAO!
Boogers are to be eaten slowly like caviar
Oh sh it. I just farted. It is a real stinker.
Smells like Blue Saffron's breath LMFAO!
Blue Saffron eats Modi's farts. Yuk
You betcha!!
Hi there. ..
I eat Modi's poop. Delicious. Love it.
Tastes like chicken
INDIA is beautiful and I just ♡ it!
Hi ya ll.
I too live India and Hindu people around the world
Thanks for listening
I love India
Your logic is fallacious and condones raypes in India. That is not appropriate nor conducive to civility in nations. India is an anamoly and raypes, among other evils, are disproportionately exponentially skywards compared to other societies by any measure. It is indicative of a degenerative culture emanating out of hinduism. There is no other polite way of describing this cancer.
Excuse me. .I just farted. Smells like South Dakota. .
I am a Hindu boy from India.
I love India and Modi too.
God bless India. .
The fact of the matter is that such acts are embedded in Indian culture via hinduism. An atrociously brutal and socially dezpicable cult that treats seyx as part of communal ritual based on animal instincts.
Any hindu temple and sculptural architecture adorned thereof is testament to my point. And I have not yet gotten to Kama Sutra or Yoga.
Excuse me..
I farted a 2nd time...I eat Hindu boogers from India. ...salty gooey moist boogers. ..
I just love to fart
I eat camel poop from Bombay
I enjoy occasional boogers from Bombay Tastes like chicken LMFAO! Mmmm
Hi there
I love India and Modi
People in India, hindus mostly, are raypists. After rayping they hang these underage rayped girls to their death on large mango trees.
And the atrocities have just begun. Police take bribes and squash the case. When the victim's families go to file complaint, they are rayped. When and if these cases move to courts, the judges do same. Take bribes and raype the victims and/or their families.
I expect nothing less from these animals from India. And we continue to send them aid and jobs. My bad.
Modi eats Blue Saffron's s hitt.
Modi is an educated camel fukker.
LMFAO!!! Should have read::: Modi is an UNEDUCATED camel fukker. He also fukks goats.
Do you know people in India mostly hindus s hitt on roads in bombay madras etc.
This neighbor of mine is a raypist. He is from India. He is a hindu.
Modi has seyx with pigs in New Delhi.
Modi enjoys eating Blue Saffron's s hitt.

Today in the News: 'Neknominate' latest dangerous social media trend
News to know
Health officials are warning people to not participate in "Neknominate," a social media drinking game that has killed at least five people. People film themselves drinking large quantities of alcohol and sometimes doing stupid things (driving, for example), then that person "nominates" a friend or friends to do the game. Health officials say the game is "lethal" because of the amount of alcohol consumed in a short time.
Quote of note
"As an original member of Devo, Bob Casale was there in the trenches with me from the beginning. He was my level-headed brother, a solid performer and talented audio engineer, always giving more than he got." - Gerald Casale, brother and Devo bandmate of Bob, in a Facebook posting today announcing Bob's death. "Bob 2," as he was known, died Monday at age 61.
Hot video: Obama: 'Taking the next step' in fuel efficiency

The tablet market has gotten so much more interesting, as of late. The market-leading iPad finally has some competition that's worthy of the name, and both Google and Microsoft have launched large, eye-catching tablets with their sights set on Apple. If you're shopping for a tablet now, the choice is no longer so obvious. Join us as we run through the highs and lows of the fourth-generation Apple iPad, the Google Nexus 10, and the Microsoft Surface RT.
(For in-depth info on each of these devices, read our review of the Apple iPad, Microsoft Surface RT, and Google Nexus 10.)
Whether you're reading, watching movies, surfing the web, or gaming, you'll be staring at that touchscreen for hours.
The fourth-generation iPad has a 9.7-inch screen with a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution, which translates to 264ppi (pixels per inch). It looks amazing. While Apple's "Retina Display" used to be streets ahead of its rivals, that's no longer the case. The Nexus 10 boasts a 10-inch screen with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels, which is a whopping 300ppi. Microsoft obviously missed the memo on better screens because the Surface lags way behind with a 10.6-inch screen that has a 1366 x 768 pixel resolution, which is a disappointing 148ppi. Still, compare its screen to anything but an iPad or Nexus 10 and it looks pretty good. You'll just notice a few pixels here and there.
Both the Nexus 10 and the iPad displays look sharp, colorful, vibrant and generally awesome. The Surface is clearly the weak link. The Nexus 10 edges the win over the iPad in sheer numbers, but we're calling it a draw between Apple and Google in this category.
Surprisingly, the Nexus 10, which is 10.4 x 7 inches, is also a relatively light and thin tablet. It weighs 1.33 pounds and is only 0.35 inches thick, comparable weight and thickness to any tablet, including Samsung's Galaxy devices. The Nexus is plastic and it has the most rounded curves of the three. It's probably the most comfortable to hold, but it's also the least durable and only comes in black.
The iPad is 9.5 x 7.31 x 0.37 inches and it weighs 1.44 pounds. It has that solid aluminum unibody and it feels reassuringly expensive. You can get the iPad in white and silver or black and silver. One of Apple's greatest strengths is design and fabrication. The iPad still feels like the best-built tablet on the market, just not by as big a margin as it did before.
Tall and slim, the Surface measures 10.81 x 6.77 x 0.37 inches and weighs in at 1.5 pounds, making it the heavyweight of the group. It has straight edges and a more industrial design. The magnesium chassis and built-in kickstand give it a different, more precise feel. The covers slot on easily thanks to the magnetic connector. The Surface only comes in black, but the covers add a splash of color.
Ecosystem and content
The chances are good that you're buying a tablet for entertainment purposes, so you want to know what kind of content you can access and how easy it is to use. We'll take a look at the three key areas for this.
Apps and games
The iPad wins this category not only for sheer variety, but also because it has more polished games and apps that were specifically designed for its 9.7-inch screen. Android tablets have access to a lot of apps, but most of them are only designed for smaller phone interfaces. Apple was wise to require custom apps for the iPad. If you're into gaming, particularly, then the iPad is the way to go.
Google's Nexus 10 can run a huge variety of apps and games accessible via Google Play. Google's content offering has improved a great deal in the last year and you will find more free apps there than in the App Store. There are some high-quality options too, but as a general rule the premium apps and games still come to iOS first and get ported to Android later. Android is still catching up when it comes to tablet apps.
Microsoft has a real challenge on its hands to convince developers to create apps and games for Windows RT. This version of the OS will only run apps from the new Windows Store, which only launched in October 2011. Whatever way you slice it there are far, far fewer apps and games for the Surface.
Movies, TV, and music
Google Play and iTunes offer a good selection of content. There are more movies and TV shows on Google Play and more music on iTunes, but most people will look beyond these destinations for their content. You can get apps for Netflix, HBO Go, Hulu Plus, and Amazon to access more movies. You can also use services like Pandora and Spotify, or find music through an app like TuneIn Radio. The Nexus 10 and iPad both offer a wide variety of popular services for watching TV, movies, and listening to music. Microsoft lags behind.
There are versions of some, but not all, of these apps and services for Windows RT. The ones that have been ported are not generally as polished as their iOS or Android counterparts. One advantage that the Surface could have here is its tie-in with the Xbox 360. If you use your Xbox as an entertainment hub in the living room, the SmartGlass app allows you to enjoy a true second-screen experience on your tablet and remotely control the console. However, you can get the app for Android and iOS as well.
Books and magazines
There is no shortage of books and magazines on offer for all three tablets. The iPad has iBooks, but it can also access Google Play Books, whereas the Nexus 10 can't access iBooks. You can also get the Kindle or the Nook app for each one and they are your best bet for choice.
Magazines are best on the iPad as the layout tends to be perfect. Both the iPad and Nexus 10 have good magazine options, but the Surface lags behind and tends to have more wasted space on screen. Readability is noticeably better on the sharper Nexus 10 and iPad.
If you intend to use your tablet for work, you'll find all three are suitable for checking email, organizing calendars and notes, and editing documents (with the right apps). But the Surface does gain an edge here. Even ignoring the keyboard covers, (it's worth remembering you can get similar accessories for the iPad or Nexus 10, although they won't be as well integrated), the Surface has a few extras up its sleeve. You can map network drives and access your HomeGroup computers, you can plug in a second screen, and Remote Desktop comes as standard. All Windows RT devices also come with a version of Microsoft Office with basics like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and One Note. iPad would earn a second place in this category, but its apps aren't built in and its keyboard solutions aren't as elegant.
With Nvidia's 1.3Ghz Tegra 3 quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM, the Surface is no slouch. The Nexus 10 offers a dual-core, 1.7Ghz Exynos 5 processor also backed by 2GB of RAM. The iPad has Apple's A6X processor clocked at 1.4 GHz and just 1GB of RAM.
In benchmark tests, the Nexus 10 is the clear winner, although the iPad is best at processing graphics. The iPad and the Nexus 10 are very responsive. In hands-on comparisons here at DT though, we've found that the iPad still feels most responsive and works the best for users.
The Surface comes with either 32GB or 64GB of storage, and it is the only device to have a microSD card slot so you can boost that by another 64GB. However, it comes with a catch: 13GBof its onboard memory is hogged up by the operating system, making its claims of 32GB of storage a little disingenuous. The Nexus 10 comes in 16GB or 32GB varieties. The iPad comes in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB varieties.
You also get 7GB of cloud storage for free thanks to Microsoft's SkyDrive with the Surface. With the iPad you'll get 5GB via iCloud. Google Drive will also give you 5GB for the Nexus 10, but Google Music also allows you to store up to 40,000 songs, Gmail offers 10GB, and you can store as many photos as you like in Google+. Interestingly, you can also get SkyDrive for Android or iOS, and all of Google's services are available on iOS or Windows RT.
With all that said, no matter which tablet you choose, if you want to store media or files on your tablet, you're going to be extremely limited. We've repeatedly ran out of space on our iPads and other devices when we try to load up content for, say, a long flight. Put a few Amazon videos on a 16GB tablet or some songs, and space gets sparse fast.
The iPad and the Nexus 10 both have 5-megapixel rear-facing cameras that can record 1080p video. The Nexus 10 also has a 1.9-megapixel front-facing camera for video calls while the iPad's is 1.2-megapixel.
The clear loser again is the Surface, which has front and rear 1-megapixel cameras that can record in 720p. However, we must note that both the front and rear camera are angled – they only point straight when you have the Surface kickstand out. If you are holding the tablet, you'll have to angle it in your hands to get a straight shot. The Surface camera is obviously only really intended for video calls. It does feel odd using a tablet to take photos, so this probably won't be a big deal for most people.
The Lightning connector in the iPad 4 renders old accessories useless without an expensive adapter. The Nexus 10 is more standard with Micro USB and Micro HDMI ports. The Surface uses a proprietary AC adapter for charging and a proprietary HD video out adapter, but it does have a USB port which can be used to charge mobile devices.
All three have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Only the Nexus 10 has NFC. Only the iPad offers cellular network support for 3G or 4G LTE, but it will cost you. Overall, when it comes to connectivity, Microsoft's full-size USB port takes the cake, and Windows is still better equipped to connect up to smaller devices like cameras and MP3 players. However, Google's use of Micro USB makes it easy to charge the Nexus no matter where you are. With the iPad, be prepared to pay extra for fancy dongles.
Battery life
There isn't a huge difference when it comes to battery life. The iPad wins with 10 hours to the Nexus 10's 9 hours and the Surface is last with 8 hours. Actual battery life depends on how you use the device.
The prices get quite complicated when you add in all the various possible permutations. What we can say is that the Nexus 10 is the cheapest at $400 for the 16GB, or $500 for the 32GB. The iPad starts at $500 for the 16GB model and goes up to $830 for the 64GB version with cellular network support. The Surface RT starts at $500 for the 32GB model, and you'll pay $700 for a 64GB version with a Touch Cover. Touch Covers cost around $100, which is steep.
The competition is so fierce that price drops are very likely to be on the horizon. We hope.
Your choice
For a solid tablet at a reasonable price, the Nexus 10 makes the most sense. If you want the best content, you like to play games, and price is no object then it has to be the iPad (or check out the iPad Mini). If you're looking for a laptop replacement that can go to work with you and act as a second screen at night then you might consider the Surface. Still, we've found Microsoft's first tablet entry to have some growing pains. The hardware is good, but Windows RT is currently limited and the software selection is similarly stunted. Apple is still king of the hill. At least, for now.

Hayden Kennedy: Superballistic
At age 19, Hayden Kennedy decided to study at the "University of Yosemite."
Hayden Kennedy and Jason Kruk, ages 21 and 23, had chopped a bivy ledge at the base of the final headwall on the mammoth North Face of North Twin when the storm moved in. Still trying to climb amid snow, rain, spindrift and thin pro the next morning, Hayden had a thought: "Well, maybe we should start thinking about the descent."
The pair began rappelling, but found they had to "load up" the fractured limestone with three or four pieces per rap. His next conclusion was, "We don't have enough to get down."
The mythic, looming 5,000-foot face is the hardest in the Canadian Rockies and the site of only three ascents: its FA in 1974 by George Lowe and Chris Jones, the North Pillar by Barry Blanchard and Dave Cheesmond in 1985, and the North Face variation by Steve House and Marko Prezelj in 2004.
The two youths had arrived to a winter-locked face laced with big corniced mushrooms and delaminating ice. On day one Kruk styled what Kennedy called "maybe the most impressive lead I've ever seen. Bad rock, a limestone bulge, two bad Arrows, and a long way to a bad place to fall."
The pair made great progress, reaching the final headwall at two-thirds height before being thwarted by storm. Lacking enough gear to rap the face and concerned about avalanches, they recalled a ledge system at half height that might offer them an escape to the Northeast Ridge. They rapped to the ledge, then traversed nearly 10 horizontal pitches. Kennedy recalls the terrain as "really scary," unprotected and with strange "tension traverses around cornices." Reaching the relative safety of the ridgeline, the two climbed it until they could access the glacier, where they sat out a cold night, then followed a drainage down.
Hayden came home to Carbondale, Colorado, calling his experience "soul-cleansing."
Son of Julie Kennedy and the leading alpinist Michael Kennedy, Hayden grew up taking long climbing trips to Yosemite, the Canadian Rockies, and overseas to Thailand and Australia. He has climbed as hard as Rifle's most difficult route, The Crew (5.14c), but Castleton Tower in Castle Valley, Utah, with his father at 13 stoked him for a life of trad climbing: "That was the moment."
Graduating from high school in 2009 at age 19, Hayden decided to study at the "University of Yosemite," and that season linked El Cap and Half Dome, climbed Mount Watkins in seven hours, and led Tuolumne's Bachar Yerian (5.11c R). In the winter it was south to Argentina, where he and Jason Kruk spent seven hours trying to circumvent a rime mushroom atop the Supercanaleta on Fitz Roy, rappelled for 13 hours, and returned within two days to climb the route in 40 hours town to town.
By the time this issue comes out, Hayden should be in Pakistan with Kelly Cordes and Kyle Dempster to climb in the Charakusa Valley.
Q&A with Hayden Kennedy
What did you learn in Canada?
It's all about keeping the psyche, not letting in pain or negativity. Keep a positive attitude, keep going, keep laughing. Not thinking too far ahead, like, 'What happens if the weather does move in?' Trying to stay in the present moment and read situations as they come. I'm learning that more and more.
When did you get so stoked on alpine climbing?
When you sport climb, it's awesome, but to me when you succeed in alpine climbing it's really powerful, because you put in a lot more effort. When you fail, you really think about it, what went wrong—so many steps go into alpine climbing. The failure is really where you learn.
What do you hope to do in Charakusa?
[Carefully] Depends on conditions and permitting issues. … I would rather not say. I don't like publicizing something before you go.
It's a dream trip. The area is so big and so beautiful. I fear that maybe because of the political situation Americans won't always have the opportunity.
What do your parents think about these alpine trips?
I think they're psyched that I'm traveling the world and doing something I love. Well, I know that my mom's not that psyched I'm going to Pakistan.
"When you sport climb, it's awesome, but to me when you succeed in alpine climbing it's really powerful, because you put in a lot more effort. When you fail, you really think about it, what went wrong—so many steps go into alpine climbing. The failure is really where you learn."They trust my decision-making. And they've been through this before [with my father's trips]. She's reliving, relearning that now. He's seeing it from the other side. I bet he sometimes gets really scared because he actually knows. But I've gotten great support from my parents.
What do you think is the greatest thing in current climbing?
A lot of great things are happening, from sport climbing to alpine. It's really inspiring to see Adam Ondra and what he's doing. To see the younger community of climbers getting more into alpine climbing, a resurgence of trad and big-wall climbing. What Alex Honnold is doing is bad ass.
What do you dislike?
When people climb a route just to put it on an 8a card. That's so weird to me. If it's a good route, it's a good route.
The media of the alpine world is getting strange. This new push for these dispatches from the mountain. I just feel that it's dangerous when you are trying to make these decisions. You might be sitting in basecamp thinking, 'I don't want to go up there.' Maybe I'm wrong but with that camera and other pressures you might feel pressured to go up and ignore what you think.
When my dad went alpine climbing, those guys could blast off into space, no one would hear about them. They could tell their story when they came back in slide shows and the written word, a book or magazine.
Hardest aspects of these big trips?
Learning to fail. You just have to be ready to get shut down. All this money, time, training and effort goes into these trips. But if that's what happens, that's what happens. It's not the end of the world. It's part of the deal.

It's been too long but I see the light! Winter is a favorite time of year…usually. This year was long, dark and exceedingly wet. I've plodded along trying to summon up the energy to do things. My friend and fellow blogger at incahootswithmuddyboots.com came by to cheer me with signs of spring from her yard.
The struggle with my vision has really slowed things down. I finally wised up and went back to the optometrist. My glasses that are eight months old were not working and I was scared. "Well no wonder" he says. "You've lost a whole diopter of vision since this last prescription." Now I have no idea what a diopter really is even after my son explained it to me. "What caused it" I asked? He seemed to think it was because of excessive dry eye. That eye doesn't blink as well as the other and leaks tears since the onset of Bells Palsy 7 years ago. Why am I losing so much vision now?
It's possible the C-pap machine that blows wind in my face all night might be drying out the eye if I'm not keeping it well closed in my sleep. I didn't think that could be the answer so I made another appointment with an ophthalmologist and she verified that the eye was indeed quite healthy and quite dry.
So onto finding solutions. I put in a gel at night for better lubrication and have an eye mask to cover the eyes. My son's ex-wife saw something online that she thought would help and I checked it out. This morning on my trip to town for lunch with friends, I stopped at the sleep study center and asked if they had it or could they get it for me. In 15 minutes, they saved me the more than $100 and handed one over after a fitting. I practically danced out of the office. No more wind in my face all night. Granted, it's not terribly attractive but I'm hoping it fills the bill.
So the second pair of glasses that were made a few weeks ago works quite well for distances but I can't read the computer with them. Back to the old pair when I'm on the laptop. The optometrist will try to come up with another prescription that works better for both. It's frustrating but there's still so much I want to do, read and write. Vision seems essential to those desires.
In the meantime, the clutter has continued to be cleared. All of the industrial shelving from my son's storage unit were sold and are gone from the yard. I am continuing to pare down but have found it's a good idea to go through the boxes carefully before donation. I found a whole bundle of embroidery patterns that I bought almost 10 years ago for over $60. Everything else in the box went, the patterns are now being lined up to work.
I've managed to get a few other things done.
So how are you seeing this time of year? Signs of spring or signs of autumn becoming more clear? Are you starting to perk up or wind down?
From my heart to yours,
Marlene Herself

I'm halfway through my MLIS program, yet there are still countless words and concepts that I'm not confident I actually understand. I feel like a fundamental vocabulary lesson is missing from most of my core intro classes — and I don't think it's all going be covered by the time I graduate. There are all these acronyms and buzzwords in libraryland, and while I might know what subject they're related to, I have no idea what exactly they mean. Is that acronym a standard, a guideline? What words are interchangeable, and what words aren't?
For example, none of my core classes actually explained the difference between a library and archive. Since I'm focusing on archives, I can tell you the difference — but how many non-archives students can?
So let's help each other out! What fundamental vocabulary words are missing from your classes? Ask in the comments, and hopefully someone else will answer. Do your part and answer someone else's question too.
I'll start — is there a difference between a persistent identifier and a digital object identifier? Digital curation and data curation?
